Car Dealership Parking Lot Striping in Keizer, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

Striping a Car Dealership in Keizer

A dealership lot does three jobs at once, and each one wants a different layout. Display inventory needs to be packed tight and angled for visibility from the road. Customers need obvious, comfortable parking near the showroom door. The service drive needs its own approach lanes and a place for vehicles to wait. Cram all three together without a plan and you get a lot where shoppers cannot tell where to park, transporters block the service entrance, and your front-row inventory is invisible from Cherry Avenue.

Cojo Excavation & Asphalt stripes auto-retail properties across Marion County, and Keizer dealerships near River Road and Keizer Station face the added pressure of being seen from busy corridors. The striping plan is part merchandising, part traffic engineering. Display rows have to maximize the cars you can show while still leaving aisles wide enough to move inventory. Customer and service zones have to be clearly separated so a buyer never accidentally parks in the service queue.

What This Business Type Actually Needs

Dealership striping is about segmentation. The priorities we plan around for a Keizer lot:

• Display-row vs customer vs service-drive segmentation — Three distinct zones, three distinct stall treatments, so nobody confuses inventory parking for guest parking.
• Inventory-density angled striping — Angled rows fit more display vehicles into the same frontage and orient them toward passing traffic, which is the whole point of a display lot.
• ADA showroom path-of-travel — Customer parking needs compliant accessible spaces with a marked, unobstructed path to the showroom entrance.
• Transporter unload lane — Car carriers need a dedicated lane and staging area to unload without blocking the service drive or customer parking.
• Test-drive return arrows — Directional markings route returning test drives back to a logical drop point instead of into customer or display traffic.

OLCC and local dealer-lot frontage rules can affect how display vehicles are positioned relative to the property line and right-of-way, so it is worth confirming frontage layout when a lot is being re-striped or expanded.

Keizer Conditions That Affect the Work

Keizer's striping season runs late spring through early fall, the same Willamette Valley pattern as neighboring Salem. Dealerships present a scheduling challenge because the lot is the product display — you cannot simply close it for a week. We phase the work so display rows, customer parking, and the service drive get done in stages, keeping the showroom approach and at least part of the inventory accessible throughout.

The River Road and Keizer Station corridors carry strong local and regional traffic, which is exactly why dealerships locate there and exactly why faded, crowded striping costs them visibility. High-turnover service drives also wear paint fast where vehicles pivot and queue. Older dealership lots in the area often show heavy tire-scrub fading on angled display rows and oil staining in the service approach, both of which affect how new paint is prepped and applied.

What Striping a Dealership Typically Involves

Restriping refreshes existing display rows, customer stalls, and service-drive markings on the current layout. New layout work — common when a dealership rebrands, expands, or repaves — includes measuring the lot, planning angled rows for maximum display density, and verifying ADA compliance at the showroom. New layouts cost more because of that planning and measurement, but they often recover the cost by fitting more inventory into the same space.

Our parking lot striping cost in Oregon guide covers per-space and per-linear-foot baselines. Dealerships use a mix: per-space pricing for customer and display parking, and linear-foot pricing for the service drive lanes, return arrows, and any fire-lane or keep-clear markings.

Paint choice tracks traffic. The service drive and main customer aisles take the most wear and benefit from durable traffic paint. Display rows, which see slower and lighter movement, can run standard latex. A walk-through tells us where the heavy paint earns its cost.

Hidden Conditions on Dealership Lots

A few things commonly surface once striping starts on an older Keizer dealership:

• Tire-scrub fading on angled rows — Display vehicles pivoting into angled stalls wear paint unevenly, sometimes hiding how far the lines have actually deteriorated.
• Oil saturation in the service approach — The service drive collects fluid drips that can prevent paint from bonding without spot treatment.
• Showroom ADA spaces below current standard — Older accessible spaces near the entrance may not meet current dimension and access-aisle requirements.
• Cracking in the transporter staging area — Heavy car carriers stress the pavement where they unload, and that area often cracks before the rest of the lot.

These are the kinds of conditions a site assessment catches before they become a problem. We measure and walk every dealership lot rather than estimating from an aerial view.

Why Keizer Dealerships Work With Cojo

We stripe dealership lots as a merchandising tool, not just a parking surface. That means angling display rows for road visibility, separating customer and service traffic cleanly, giving transporters a real place to unload, and routing test-drive returns so they never cross shopper paths. We phase the work to keep your lot selling while we paint, and we flag pavement issues instead of covering them.
